light washed away

using my lights, using my hands
i'll tell you words you can understand
these sleepless nights
move through our hands
our empty hearts make new demands
using the words that i try to say
i can never seem to get away
using the words that i try to say
i can never seem to get away, oh no
you'll see my lights, you'll see my hands
you'll see the things that i understand
do what you said
i didn't know
all of these places we could go
i didn't think that i'm gonna stay
i always try to get away
i didn't think that i'd try to stay
i always wanted to get away
using my lights, using my hands
i'll use some words that you'll understand
i can't complain -- maybe i can
but it won't matter, you won't understand
i didn't think that i'd try to stay
when all i wanted was to get away
i didn't think that i'd try to stay
when all that i wanted was to get away
using my lights, using my hands
i'll speak a language you can understand
don't try to fight, just give right in
i learned a while ago what they did
i never thought that i'd try to stay
when all that i wanted was to get away
i didn't think that i'd try to stay
when all that i wanted was to get away
behind the bushes, inside the bed
the lights washed us away as we fled
they kept on pushing
i let them in
is it really my fault in the end?
behind the bushes, inside the bed
the lights washed us away as we fled
as we fled
we fled
we fled
we fled
using the lights
using my hands
i'll use some words you can understand
i do not fight it
i give right in
and they will do it again and again

more maybe
03:45
|

|
i just want more, maybe
i don't want to be me
nothing lives in time
promise it's alright
i can take more, maybe
can't tell who i've been, lately
our hearts drain and take time
recycled rain drowns my
lungs and smoke cleanses
no need to be apprehensive
i can't take more, maybe
i can't feel it lately
nothing lives inside
i don't want to find
a way out of this
a way to persist
i can take more, maybe
i can feel it
in this empty house of torn pages
we'll swallow all our contagions
don't care if i can't afford
what it takes to take a little more
in our overpacked bathroom stalls
there's always enough for us all
i can take more, maybe
i don't want to feel you lately
i just want more, maybe
i've got no cares lately

volcanic
02:55
|
|||
|
i have been finding other ways
i have been sleeping through our wasted days
lightning flashes in the face
while someone is standing in our place
covered the mirrors, i cover the lies
we always have our alibis
on balconies too low to jump
i wish the height was just enough
i'll write my resignation in ash
none of our feelings are meant to last
volcanic, our hearts erupt
to fill our veins but it is never enough
volcanic, our hearts erupt
to fill our veins but it is never enough
and i told you i don't want you here
i don't want to show you this fear
our silhouettes that won't regret
all of the things we've done and said
our volcanic hearts erupt
our volcanic hearts erupt
and i know it's never enough
and i know it's never enough
and with my hand outside the window i can almost already feel
how it would be if i could just let go of the wheel
yes, we can do it again
i guess we can do it again
i don't want to talk about it
i guess we can do it again
and yes. this is just pretend
another empty cigarette
another empty fucking threat
i don't really care about it
i guess we can do it again
i guess we can do it

tossing and turning
02:41
|
|||
|
have you heard a single word of theirs?
held up to the light it can't compare
there is no comfort to be found in this bed
there is no rest to be had inside this head
tossing and turning
bent over and back again
i remember everything that i think i said
it's only disrepair in memory
i guess that's just how it's supposed to be
it doesn't have to make sense in the end
it doesn't have to make sense in the end
have you heard a single word of theirs?
held to the light it can't compare
there is no comfort to be found inside this bed
there is no rest to be had inside this head
tosssing and turning
bent over and back again
i shut my eyes and i try to pretend
i don't need you knowing that i am still awake
(i don't need holding hands i am still awake)
i don't need you knowing promises i will break
oh, we'll break

floor
04:41
|
|||
|
i can feel it, in the back of my head
i can hear it, everything we said
and
down on the floor, i'll take a little bit more
i'll do all the things you try to ignore
why do you stay? don't try anyway, just drive me anyway, because
i can feel it, on the back of my neck
in the back of my head, i hear all that you said
i can feel it, again and again
there is no exit, and this is not pretend
hold your flame up, put it out on my arm
it's no cause for alarm
i will welcome the harm
i will welcome your harm
i will welcome your harm
this is not an ending and this is not pretend
i can hear it growing in the back of my head
this is not an ending and it's just like you said
and i can feel it starting up again and again
i can feel you crawling up the back of my neck
in this haunted house we will remember what we said
this is not an ending and this is not pretend
i can hear it starting in the back of my head

victimizer

wake and fake and then repeat
no i won't try i'm listening to
all my lies and your concerns
it's not that they are never heard
i just don't care how far you'll go
what lives in this you'll never know
don't waste your time on helping me
don't try, don't try just leave it be
window's down, hold out my arm
finding ways to do no harm
open the door, i'm slipping through
don't like to think of what i'll do
take off your smile, you won't need it here
don't slow it down, we'll disappear
traces got inside of me
our frozen hearts refuse to beat
i can never fall asleep
i let it all go carelessly

never believe me
02:17
|
|||
|
so just relax, forget i'm home
you know it's better when you think you're alone
don't you know that nobody is in control?
don't you know that nobody is in control?
i won't listen
i can't imagine
burning scraps that
incinerate
i can't hate if
i forget your name
nothing happened
i won't let it
never believe me
can't forget this
time
we tried
this time
don't try
pass us by

don't try
04:26
|
|||
|
back up against the wall i always try to get away
but in hospital beds they always say i have to stay somehow
all of it wearing down, i’m wearing out and
when i shut my eyes i forget that i’m asleep
i don’t want to wake up, please don’t bother me again
don’t try, don't this time
we cannot complain
we can hear it strain inside
inside these lives
collecting our rain
running through our veins in time
this life leaves stains
pressed up against the wind there is no tomorrow now, all the edges wear away
amygdala runs out tonight
putting us through this fear; through this fear
and every time i bleed the perfect color fills my eyes and
i am sick and tired of your half-hearted lullabies you sing
all of it wearing down and what good does it bring this time?
don't dry these eyes
i cannot complain, start to levitate inside
don’t try this time
digital and late
succumbing to fate
sparkling with hate
just another charade
and i don’t think I like you, like i don’t like myself
and i am going to burn and i’ll be somebody else
and i will never see you, but i will hear you roar
in every nightmare’s haunted house you are standing at the door
and i cannot complain, i can feel it strain inside
don’t try this time
cold sheets and mattress stains
we circle all our shame inside
don't dry these eyes
carving out my veins
replacing the pain
all that remains
please take it away tonight
i think it’s too late
we pick them up with trembling hands and
we hold our smiles to our empty heads
and our electric smiles all make it seem like it is nothing but joy that
these nights bring, and you will think that
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy

what we did
03:22
|
|||
|
in our hearts in our heads it doesn't matter what we did
no we don't get away
behind the bushes, inside the bed we know this is now permanent
and we don't get to change
in our hearts in our heads we all love to feel haunted
for something else to stay
we all want from others, won't give to ourselves
i always wanted to be something else
holding hands that reach out from the dark
we set ourselves on fire just to see a spark
we can burn it down, spread the ashes all around
we can burn this house, we'll suffer somewhere else
and i'll dance in our hearts in our heads
we all love to feel haunted
for something else to stay
in our hearts in our heads it doesn't matter what we did and said instead
no we don't get away
and i'll do just what you wanted me to, i'm separating the i from you
and you've taken all you want and it's all that i've got
but you still ask for more, and oh, i abhor
all the things we put ourselves through
i am sick of feeling like i am you
and i'll dance
in our hearts
in our heads
we all love to feel haunted
and we don't get away
oh, we think we change
we just rearrange
i'm so haunted
by what we did
